Eaton 2A F Ceramic Cartridge Fuse, 6.3 x 25mm

This range of fuses from Cooper Bussmann are fast acting with high rapture capacity. They are suitable for various different uses, providing reliable performance and cost-effective circuit protection. They are ideal for use in plugs to protect cables from melting or catching fire if they are overloaded.

Why choose a ceramic fuse?
Ceramic fuses, in comparison to glass fuses, often have a higher current capacity. Ceramic fuses are popular in household applications, such as appliances. These fuses are opaque and often contain sand which is use to prevent a conductive film from forming on the fuse. Glass fuses are often the most reliable option.

What is HBC?
HBC stands for high breaking current and refers to the maximum current that the fuse can handle without breaking. It is also known as HRC (High Rupturing Capacity).

What size is it?
This range of fuses are 6.3 x 25, meaning they are 25mm long and 6.3mm in diameter.

What Speed is it?
These fuses are “F” speed rated, which is short for Fast Acting. This is also known as fast blow and is popular in general purpose applications. They are designed not to handle current spikes over the rated current.

IEC 269-3A

Protect low-power equipment with this ceramic cartridge fuse from Eaton. If a spike in current occurs exceeding the rated value of 2A, this fuse quickly melts or blows, disconnecting the electrical supply. Its ceramic body absorbs damaging heat caused by overcurrent, and its nickel-plated caps are durable and resistant to rust. This HBC (high breaking capacity) fuse clears both high-fault and low-fault currents and won't deteriorate with age. It's ideally rated to safeguard appliances that run on a 240V mains supply, such as radios, fridge freezers or hair clippers.

• F-rated (fast acting) to protect equipment swiftly in the event of a fault
• Wide operating temperature range (-5°C to +35°C) for versatile use
• Isolates sub-systems such as plugged-in appliances from main systems to prevent damage

Breaking capacity is the current level that a fuse can handle without blowing. Choose your fuse according to the rating of your electrical appliance. For example, if you have a freezer unit rated 1.5A, a 2A-rated cartridge fuse is ideal.
